00:00Did you know that a little sunshine might be one of the simplest ways to calm inflammation in your
00:04body? Yes, sunlight can actually be medicine. When sunlight touches your skin, your body
00:11creates vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D helps reduce harmful inflammation,
00:19the same low-grade inflammation linked to heart disease, arthritis, and even memory decline.
00:24Think of vitamin D as your body's natural switch that tells inflammation to quiet down.
00:31Without enough of it, your body stays on high alert, and that constant stress wears you down.
00:38You don't need hours in the sun. Just 10 to 20 minutes of gentle morning or late afternoon
00:44sunlight on your arms or face, a few times a week, can make a real difference. Remember, harsh midday
00:52sun isn't necessary, and sunscreen should still be used for longer exposures.
00:58Safe sun exposure isn't only about vitamin D getting outside also lowers stress,
01:03improves sleep, and lifts your mood. The mind and body both heal when we spend time in natural light.
01:12So, instead of reaching for another quick fix, remember this. A little sunshine may be one of
01:18the simplest anti-inflammatory tools you already have. Step outside, soak in the light, and let your body
01:25thank you.
